what i did while my husband was in the mountains sleeping in a cave

on thursday night heidi called us to invite us over for a game night on friday. sadly, i had to decline because mitch was most likely going snow caving with the young men. i said "most likely" because they weren't sure if they had enough adult leaders to go. i mentioned this to heidi and she quickly volunteered her husband who, being from arizona, had never been snow caving before. he reluctantly agreed to go.

so, the next afternoon i sent my "hot dog" (notice the hat) of a husband to the mountains with andy.

that same afternoon i called heidi and suggested that we should do a ladies game night while we were husbandless. she loved the idea, but because it was such late notice we only had three of us to play games. what game did we play? the game we are all addicted to:have you played it? you should!

we stayed at heidi's house (my three kids spent the night, thanks heidi!) playing and eating chocolates until 3 am!! yup, you read that right! we didn't leave until after 3 in the morning! are we pathetic? no, we just know how to live it up when the husbands are gone!

when mitch dropped andy off the next morning, heidi told them that we stayed up until 3 that morning playing settlers.

so, mitch calls me on his cell phone and says, "how ya doin'? you sound a bit horse, like you didn't get much sleep last night! i think i got more sleep sleeping in a snow cave than you did sleeping at home!"

I have become addicted to that game. I think I might have to ask Andy for it for my birthday. Let me know when the tournament is going to begin! It might be an all-nighter! Andy thought I was Crazy to be up that late, but it was like we where teenage girls again having fun!

Sounds like fun! Elizabeth called me around 6pm to let me know and I was getting my kids ready for bed so I didn't get the phone. Bummed I missed it. I definitely would NOT have lasted until 3am though. Was Elizabeth that other brave soul?I haven't heard of that game before. Sounds like it must be fun though.

Oh, my goodness. It's a miracle we got home in one piece! I carefully followed you home. Thanks for signalling as you turned, or I might have gotten lost! :-) That was so fun! I was thinking all the next day about how fun it would be to play again!

We love Settlers, too. We have the older version, not the one pictured on your blog, with the wench on the front. My MIL took a Sharpie and colored in a black "tank top" so she wasn't PG-13ing all over our game closet.

you are so fun! I love you posts. Where did you get this game and is it role playing? I am in love with How to Host a Murder, but you can only play that with a bbysitter and some planning to make it real fun.

What a fun night! I love getting together with the girls. Oh, and I got hooked on Settlers of Catan when we lived in Oregon. Some friends in our ward were huge into it and Mike and I fell in love. Someday we'll have to buy it for ourselves.
